Winners of the competition will stay in a recreated studio, where everything from the floor plan and the materials to replicas of the original furniture has been carefully considered to reflect the atmosphere of the Bauhaus, as it was in its prime.

Guests can stay in the dormitory building at Bauhaus Dessau

Completed in 1926 the dormitory building was built as part of the new school designed by Walter Gropius in Dessau, after the Bauhaus’ move from Weimar.

The studio building, which is named Prellerhaus after the painter Karl August Louis Preller, contains 28 rooms – a mixture of single and double occupancy – where Bauhaus students and masters stayed.

Since its refurbishment some of the rooms have been decorated in homage to their former inhabitants, including Alfred and Gertrud Arndt, Josef and Anni Albers and Franz Ehrlich.

The rooms at the Bauhaus Dessau are furnished to reflect the atmosphere during the years the school was open
